My true passion comes from finding unique gems & turning them into gorgeous wearable treasures. After receiving my BFA in Metalsmithing & Jewelry Design over 20 years ago, my experience in the field began designing for other artists & restoring antique and vintage jewelry. The beauty found in a natural, untreated stone is so much more interesting to me than a perfectly clear diamond. I can see ent
ire worlds swirling in some of the stones I've collected! I am heavily influenced by nature (I know, cliche..., but true). Ideally, the tempering of raw beauty combined with exceptional craftsmanship; creating timeless, elegant pieces will be what you appreciate most in my work. And being able to manipulate metal is totally cool !!!!!!!!! Cheers, friends!!!!!!
